Baby Chicks: Fibro Easter Egger

Fibro Easter Egger baby chicks are now available at My Pet Chicken! They are an exceptional addition to your flock, known for their unique characteristics, including their body's mostly black pigment: comb, beak, skin, wattles, internal organs, meat, and bones (their blood is not black, however). This hyperpigmentation is caused by a genetic condition known as fibromelanosis.

Egg Color and Production: The Fibro Easter Egger is a great layer of large blue or green eggs. A small percentage of Fibro Easter Eggers will lay a white or cream-colored egg. You can expect your Fibro Easter Eggers to lay 3-4 eggs per week! 

Appearance: Their color is the most notable characteristic, setting this chicken apart from other breeds. The degree of black feathering on Fibro Easter Eggers will vary, but the skin, legs, and lobes will be black-colored or with spots of black.

In addition to their unique black skin coloring, the Fibro Easter Egger has a clean leg appearance. Some will have fluffy muffs! 

Blue or Green Egg Promise

Most Easter and Olive Eggers will lay blue or green eggs. However, due to natural genetic variation, a small number may produce eggs that are brown, pinkish, or tinted instead. Since each hen lays one consistent egg color for life, egg color becomes clear once she begins laying — typically between 18 and 30 weeks.

If your Easter Egger or Olive Egger lays eggs that are not blue or green, we will refund the purchase price of the bird as My Pet Chicken store credit. Read more information here.
